Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06

Van de bekende pdf-lezer Adobe Reader is dinsdagavond een reguliere driemaandelijkse update uitgebracht. Adobe Reader 11.0.06 is een beveiligingsupdate die drie ernstige lekken dichtplakt.

Ook is de beveiliging van Reader 11.0.06 aangescherpt door diverse verbeteringen van de Beveiligde Modus. Deze beveiligde modus zorgt ervoor dat potentieel schadelijke pdf-documenten in een sandbox (zandbak) met beperkende maatregelen worden ingelezen, zodat geen kwaadaardige code kan worden uitgevoerd. Ten slotte zijn in Adobe Reader 11.0.06 nog tientallen kleine wijzigingen doorgevoerd en fouten opgelost, die hieronder na te lezen zijn.

Adobe Reader 11.0.06 is te verkrijgen voor Windows en Mac OS X. Updaten gaat het makkelijkst met de ingebouwde update-functie van Adobe onder Help.

Uitgave opmerkingen:

These updates resolve memory corruption vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2014-0493, CVE-2014-0495).

These updates resolve a use-after-free vulnerability that could lead to code execution (CVE-2014-0496).

Improvements

Items preceded by numbers are bug fixes.
Security

Security hardening and expanded sandbox support occurs with each release. Other changes include:

    Update blacklisted file extensions in HKLM’s FeatureLockDown\cDefaultLaunchAttachmentPerms\tBuiltInPermList.
    Support for Enhanced Protected Mode in Internet Explorer.
    3302756 Active content (such as JS, JAVA, and Flash) is blocked for HTML portfolio previews when Protected Mode is enabled.

Energy usage

Acrobat product enhancements include redesigns that reduce the amount of energy consumed by certain features, thereby potentially extending a device’s battery life. Additional improvements in this area are targeted for future releases.
Signatures

A new preference has been added that specifies whether the addressbook.acrodata file should be imported during a new install. The address book contains the certificate details used in signature workflows. Prior versions only allowed turning the feature off and on, and it was not possible to import certificate data silently. Thus, admins could not deploy new versions without having end users see the import dialog. Setting iImportAddressBook to 2 now enables the silent import of address books.

For configuration details, see the Preference Reference.
Services integration

    Support for the .tif extension (in addition to .tiff) when importing signature images.
    File Menu enhancements for acrobat.com.
    3571055 OCR recognizes text during Export PDF operation even when disabled.
